Index Test of Unit #1 Prospect Powerhouse #2
No full textAn index test was performed September 30 and October 1, 1987, on Unit
#1 of Prospect Powerhouse #2, located near the town of Prospect, Oregon.
The testing was requested by the American Hydro Corporation and was
scheduled to be in conjunction with a possible runner upgrade of the facility.
The facility owner is Pacific Power of Portland, Oregon. The primary personnel
involved were: Mr. W. Colwill, of American Hydro Corporation;
Messr's T. O'Conner and R. Landolt of Pacific Power; Mr. R. Voigt, Jr., of
St. Anthony Falls Hydraulic Laboratory, University of Minnesota. Numerous
Pac.1f1c Power maintenance and operational personnel were also involved.
The purpose of an index tes,t is to determine the relative unit
efficiency at various wicket gate positions. Through this type of testing
the most efficient wicket gate position can be verified. This is typically
determined by varying the wicket gate position from either full gate to
closed gate or vice versa, in a series of small, usually 5 to 10%,
increments. At each position, approximately 15 to 20 parameters are
measured. Some of these parameters such as generator output and·relative
flow measurement are used in the computation of the relative efficiency
values, while others may affect turbine efficiency either directly or
indirectly.American Hydro Corporation; Pacific Power and LightVoigt, Richard L.. (1987). Index Test of Unit #1 Prospect Powerhouse #2. Retrieved from the University Digital Conservancy, https://hdl.handle.net/11299/131924
Tolerance, intolerance, and fanaticism, W.D. Valgardson's reaction to the religious debate in New Iceland
No full textIn the 1870s, religious controversy and its resulting dissent created a division in the immigrant community of New Iceland. The heart of the religious debate centred on Pall porlaksson's orthodox teachings of the Norwegian Lutheran Synod and Jon Bjarnason's liberal views espoused by the Lutheran State Church of Iceland. The debate resulted in animosity between community members to the point that the community split. Although poor living conditions played some role, rancour over religious dissent was the primary dividing force, leading, in 1879, to a migration to North Dakota in the footsteps of porlaksson. This thesis will focus on the writings of Icelandic-Canadian author W. D. (William Dempsey) Valgardson and the religious events that took place in New Iceland long before his birth. It will show how Valgardson, drawing from this religious heritage, creates themes of tolerance, intolerance and fanaticism. Valgardson claims that a moral quality exists in his writing, a concern with Christian and non-Christian behaviour, and the use and abuse of religious power. This thesis will examine these themes in his novel, short stories, and poetry, in light of the historic events of religious strife and bonding in New Iceland

Computational identification and analysis of protein short linear motifs
No full textShort linear motifs (SLiMs) in proteins can act as targets for proteolytic cleavage, sites of post-translational modification, determinants of sub-cellular localization, and mediators of protein-protein interactions. Computational discovery of SLiMs involves assembling a group of proteins postulated to share a potential motif, masking out residues less likely to contain such a motif, down-weighting shared motifs arising through common evolutionary descent, and calculation of statistical probabilities allowing for the multiple testing of all possible motifs. Much of the challenge for motif discovery lies in the assembly and masking of datasets of proteins likely to share motifs, since the motifs are typically short (between 3 and 10 amino acids in length), so that potential signals can be easily swamped by the noise of stochastically recurring motifs. Focusing on disordered regions of proteins, where SLiMs are predominantly found, and masking out non-conserved residues can reduce the level of noise but more work is required to improve the quality of high-throughput experimental datasets (e.g. of physical protein interactions) as input for computational discovery
Employability of women managers in higher education sector: a study on their leadership qualities
No full textThe teaching profession both in this country and internationally is, with few exceptions,
dominated by women as it has traditionally been seen as a ‘suitable’ job for women. However, a
look at the statistics reveals that despite the large number of women in the profession, they are
greatly under-represented in positions of management in higher education (HE). Thus this
under-representation of women continues to be a matter of some concern. The background of
this paper identifies the status of women managers within the higher education sector. The
leadership styles typically adopted by women managers are then discussed. These styles are
taken into further analysis in order to find out whether any such styles are of use in terms of
filling the leadership gaps in higher education. In this context, this paper examines the literature
relating to gender, leadership styles and higher education in order to explore how the leadership
qualities of women managers will have a contribution towards the higher education sector
Employability of women managers in the education sector: A study on their leadership role
No full textThe teaching profession both in this country and internationally is, with few exceptions,
predominated by women as it has traditionally been seen as a ‘suitable’ job for women.
However, a look at the statistics reveals that despite the large numbers of women in the
profession, they are greatly under-represented in positions of management. Thus the underrepresentation
of women in positions of senior management within educational institutions
continues to be a matter of some concern. Studies on gender and leadership have revealed a
number of barriers to women seeking educational leadership and management positions. This
paper discusses the status of women at senior management level within the educational
sector. Previous studies have found differences in leadership styles in terms of gender and
managerial hierarchy. Discussions on the gender differentiation of leadership have centered
on the different qualities and styles of leadership of men and women; that is, the so-called
masculine and feminine styles of leadership. In this context this paper examines the literature
relating to the leadership styles typically adopted by women in order to explain how such
styles will have an impact on the educational sector
Role of Mirikizumab in the Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease-From Bench to Bedside
No full textMirikizumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against the p19 subunit of interleukin (IL)-23 to inhibit its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. IL-23 is a key cytokine involved in initiating and perpetuating the inflammatory cascade in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Mirikizumab is the first agent from the novel anti-IL-23p19 drug class to be licensed for ulcerative colitis and the first to present long-term endoscopic, histologic, symptomatic, and quality-of-life outcomes. More recently, the VIVID trial programme has led to the approval of mirikizumab in moderate to severe Crohn’s disease. This review explores the history of its development, discusses key immunopharmacological properties unique to the drug, and details the available clinical trials and real-world evidence supporting its use in IBD
